What does the last line of the story mean to you?

I just wanna say that you're my role model. I recommended all my friends listen to ur podcast because everyone who hears my English asks me how I improved my language to this level. Actually, I've been listening to u for three years. Thank u from the bottom of my heart

This guy is the Sherlock Holme of the English! The way he explain things are quite remarkable.

This teacher is so perfect I love his method of teaching thank you a lot luck 😊

I just wanna thank you ,l can listen to English for hours if it was luke's podcast with excitement

A great idea to add some sounds/effects to the story. It really helped me immerse myself in the narrative, especially when I listened to it. Additionally, the list of vocabulary with short explanations on your website is incredibly useful! Thank you, Luke

Hi Luke, I just want to thank you for all you do for us learners, I simply adore listen to your podcasts, I enjoy it so much and in the mean time I learn a lot, so a big thank you truly from the bottom of my heart. ❤️

The best teacher ever!!!

Luke, thank you for the wonderful story, which has elements of entertainment and education, as always🙂. How to interpret the ending of the story? Optimist's version: In romantic stories with a happy ending, explosions accompany the lovers' kisses. Moderate optimist's version😉: In the real world, conflict persists and explosions signify a war, which Edward had no idea about in the Simulation.

i would love to hear another of your short story again soon

Hi Luke, a big thank you for your videos I always switch the speed for 0.75 and repeat after you as I really want to develop the British accent. At the moment I’m learning how to fix my accent with help of another Luke Nicholson, so both Lukes are helping me, thank you guys.

My god. 2+hrs again. You’re my hero Luke!

Hi Luke, i love your videos and listening to them helps me a lot

Hi Luke , I am from Hong Kong, a place in Asia. I have been watching your videos and listening podcast episodes for the purpose of learning English. This short story is very interesting, a good articles to increase my vocabulary. Thanks for making this video.

Hello, I'm just a Brazilian guy, who wants to take the IELTS test, to try to study in Canada. I found her channel in the description of another channel, the girl seemed very happy, and she said she had listened to more than 10,000 minutes of her podcasts, in order to improve listening.

A smart teacher to ever listen. His presentaion with likeable pronunciation is admirable

I have this sense back in my mind you would be great actor

I have a feeling that the woman is not real, but a product of his imagination, after years of him being alone. The line 'I'm real' kind of hints that he's trying to convince himself of her existence. The story feels a bit like 'Fight Club', where the main character conjures up a whole new identity. Plus, the explosions at the end reinforce my idea, I think :>

Thanks a lot!! I am a korean. I can’t english well but because of you I am getting english more well.

Thank you teacher Luke for beautiful short story,I kind of understood the story,even my English is not in high level.always learning a lot from your English teaching,thank you a lot.

Thanks a lot , Luke. You are an excellent teacher in all skills. Always extremely happy watching your videos.❤

Thank you Luke for your way you teach us English. A lot a new words in your story. The explanation are so clear. Your voice is also nice and clear. Thanks also from translating the text in large format. Stories like these are actually very good material to learn English. All the best to you and your family.

Luke ! You are so good teacher! Im can’t stop listening to your reading!

thank you so much for this wonderful video. this is a amazing way to learn english! i will keep watching your videos to improv my english.

Hi, This is my firtst visit to here. I'm so glad to find this good english edu contents. Thank you for providing it to global students who wanna study english

Thank you Luke

29:24 The explosion of a mixture of AI and human love's mistakes, caused by the creator's anger. 😂 31:07 Cool!!!!

You are the best! I really learn when I listen to you! Thank you

Hello Brother Namaste I'm grateful for your help. You are inspiration to my english Language Teaching. Hats off to you. God Bless You Luke

you are just amazing everybody should listen your podcast.❤❤

Hello Luke. I love to listen to your podcasts ❤

So glad I found this channel😊

Hi Luke, I really like your teaching.

If I were in charge of a simulated world, I would definitely address odd socks, people never inserting the USB in the right way at first try, people missing just one glove in winter, rain right after wash the car, and printer jamming in crucial moments.

Hi Luke, I really love this story! I enjoyed every moment of your presentation even though I'm normally not a science fiction fan. I was quite surprised to hear that it was mostly written by AI and would like to know more about the changings you've made. I also ignored that AI could create such a poetic language. For me the story is perfect as it is now, with the final sentence you added. The open end leaves the possibility to each listener to have his own interpretation. That's probably the reason why a lot of people might love it.

I can’t believe that I watched more than 2 hrs in English and better, I understood everything 😮 thanks!!!

Teacher Luke , the ending story was beautiful,I understood the whole story,when I write comments it’s hard for me in writing anyway you are great English teacher.

The story with no end, but very deep and instructive...

i am wandering when i see your podcasts and thanks a lot. please take more video because i really can not stop myself from watching these preferable videos

Much respect from the citizens of Russia 🇷🇺 🙏✌👍💯🤝 Thank you so much for your superb work! ❤ 🇬🇧 🇫🇷 🇷🇺 ❤

I love your work, thank you very much. greetings from Medellìn, Colombia :)

The last line can mean that actually the aim of the mysterious girl was to destroy the world and Edward was just her weapon. There was no simulation at all. Everything was absolutely real. The frozen bird was a visual illusion invented to misslead Edward. The end of the world.....Brrrr😅

Great explanation of short stories.Thank you Luke. I love this part in you podcast .continue please

Thx for this story with deep sense! As beeing in a relationship similar right now, my hint is: the end doesn’t refer to a boom that destroys houses ;)

Thank you so much! I really enjoy listening the stories. I hope to teach students well like you.

In my opinion, it was a salute to the end of this story. I personally really like Conan Doyle's stories in your performance. But thank you very much for your such useful work in learning English for people from all over the world.🌍👏

The story is nice, your explanation, incredible! You get gold from anything!

Hi Luke, I would like to thank you for these useful lessons. I'm a master degree student in English translation and I'm interested in such kind of episodes where you explain in details each word in different contexts. So keep offering such high level and sophisticated language to get benefits from it.

Wanna say that I already used to your voice ! U r a great teacher!

Good story, Luke. You could have a series of it, called the XX Files 😂😂

Thank you so much Luke. I love the short stories. 😊

It's really a long lesson but it's worth to be patient and see it to the end...❤❤

Thank you sir

In the simulation world, should we get to eat real food or fake food? I need food😂

I loved your story, the poetic words, the intriguing situation and the open end, where the reader can choose the final picture. I follow you since long ago, and I think that I have learnt a lot from you. I met Christian Sounders after you interviewed him and also Matt. We were waiting for you at the last English retreat in Gran Canaria. I was recently in Paris, I wanted to meet you but I didn't know how to do it. Greetings from Chile

Hello Luke! Thanks a lot for this episode! Love the plot of the story! In my opinion, the last line of the story means the real explosions in the real world. Maybe they were caused by disrupting the simulation in some weird way.

Excellent, excellent, excellent class

Thanks for the useful episode. Easy memorable explaining of words ❤ and good mood for all listeners as always!

thank you :)

Thanks you for this good course : Well prepared, well organised and brilliantly presented!

This story is at a very high level of English for advanced students. As an ESL teacher, I have learned not to overload students with too many words. Also out of the thousands of English words, choose words which are useful everyday. For example, when would an English speaker use the word “stir” in the sense move? Rarely! The story you have chosen is literary and highly descriptive this predominantly uses words which are not of a high frequency in everyday English. Stories are a great way to learn English but please choose a lower level vocabulary of common useful 42:32 words. For example “a sprawling metropolis” is not going to be heard or spoken by a student learning English unless they are aiming at a university level.

Can't explain how to thank you,just love😫 ❤.

Wow what n angaging story ! luke u narrated it so very well especially when u explained vocabulary in detail with d pinch of mimicking. Thank u.

A good speaker. Thank you very much!

Excellent Luke's adaptation. Tkssssssssssssssss

Hi, Luke! Your perfect English inspires me to move forward, continue learning things. What I really lack is real life communication in English. If you know where I can have this practice, please, tell me, I will be very greatful. ❤

Such a great teacher you are

Hi, Luk. I love your podcasts. You are the best ever teacher for me. Today I woud like to ask you whether I could Say "somewhere at the back of my mind" instead of "in the back of my mind". Greetings from Gdańsk, Poland❤

Software developer and predictable routine in one sentence. It was very funny.😄

Thanks 👍👍👍

Thank you for your lessons 😊

Thank you very much Luke.😊

Luke I appreciate your generosity can you do an episode of the hardy boys story

Hey mr. Luke your explanation is smart heart touching nice sir that's great I have improved my English daily , watching your classes . Mr.Rajendra Prasad from Bharat IND

I love how he makes onomatopoeia to simulate sounds of objects.

I like the way you say hello in the beginning Luke sir 😅. Love you from Bharat(India)

Very good episode, as usual. This evening I've been watching the football Euro final and, apart from being delighted for the final result as a Spanish man, I remember all the times I listen to you talking about how many disapointments your national team has brought to your country. I'm sorry, I know how it feels cause in my childhood Spain never won a tournament and never met the expectations. And that sucks cause, as they say, football is the most important thing of the least important things in life; I guess that's cause misic is not one of the least important things :) So I hope you fire Southgate and find the guy who drives England straight towards a title. With players like Pickford, Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Palmer... and the massive support they receive from the fans, I think that England should win some tournament if they choose a more ambotious manager. Better luck next time and thanks for this Matrix like story, it was a good one to listen to before going to bed 👏👏👏🙏👍
